Walthamstow - 21/10/07

Managed a Sunday afternoon.

Weather was bright with a mild South wind.

Went to #5 and fished the first step on the west side (where I caught the biggy last trip!). saw plenty of nervous fish shoaling around from the stocking the other day, including the still large shoal of browns.

Fished with 2 boobies, orange on dropper and green and black on the point. Had quite a few pulls, when letting the Di5 sink for 20-30's, although had nothing fishing hard on the bottom.

First fish was a stockie brown:

Nice to see them, but like many people have mentioned, perfect snack size for the resident cormorants, less than a pound in size!

Then had another stockie, this time a rainbow.

Decided to try the tree bank opposite to see if I could get hold of a resident. Manged a few pulls and fish about 2lbs on the booby set up (all fish I caught came to an orange bodied, white tail booby). Tryed an intermediate with nymphs throught out the afternoon without an offer.

Good fishing with fish well spread out and everyone I saw was getting action.
